Chapter 202 Mr. Ouyang is really amazing, pre-sale is open (please subscribe!!) "Since you are satisfied, then get out of here!"

"From now on, all businessmen in Beizhili must be honest and report any problems through normal channels. If we block the government office again like this time, it will not be like today!"

Xu Liang said in a deep voice.

"Yes Yes!"

Hu Deren, Liu Liuliu, and He Qiu helped each other and left. The other businessmen who were watching outside the lobby quickly dispersed when they saw this.

Businessmen are the ones who seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They dared to gather and cause trouble outside the government office before. Firstly, they relied on them to donate money to Beizhili. Secondly, they felt that there was strength in numbers and they believed that Beizhili would definitely build the Great Wall now. It requires a lot of money. Neither Ouyang Lun, the chief envoy, nor Xu Liang, the prefect of Peking, dared to embarrass them because of this matter. As for why they chose to surround the prefect's Yamen instead of the Chief Secretary's Yamen, there are several reasons. Several points, the most important of which is because 'the persimmon must be pinched until it is soft'!

The chief envoy is much bigger than the prefect. If they really go to surround the chief secretary's office, then their group of businessmen will really have no way out.

These businessmen just came to ask for an explanation, and they were not like ordinary people who were forced to rebel. So after seeing the power of the government, the businessmen no longer had the momentum they had before, and they scattered like mice one by one. .

Xu Liang and the general magistrate of Beiping Prefecture naturally saw this scene in their eyes.

"Sir, it's really strange. These businessmen are usually arrogant and domineering, but today they are taking advantage of them. After being beaten by you, they have become more honest!"

"This subordinate really can't figure it out!"

The eyes of the general judge of Beiping Prefecture were full of confusion.

Xu Liang smiled slightly, "If you figure it out, then you will be more than just a general judge."

"Actually, I was also shocked by so many businessmen surrounding the government office today. This is the first time since I became the prefect that I have seen so many businessmen surrounding the government office demanding an explanation!"

Speaking of this, Xu Liang showed a look of fear in his eyes.

"Indeed, this morning, as soon as Xianguan entered the government office, these businessmen blocked the door of the government office. If his subordinates hadn't been quick-sighted and closed the door of the government office in advance, those businessmen would have rushed into the government office in one go. ." The general magistrate of Beiping Prefecture sighed.

"You did a good job this time and your reactions were very smart. If you hadn't bought this time, I wouldn't have been able to go to Mr. Ouyang to get a solution!"

Hearing this, the general magistrate of Beiping Prefecture asked curiously: "Sir, I remember that it wasn't long before you went to Master Ouyang! Did you get a solution so quickly?"

"Of course." Xu Liang nodded heavily, "Master Ouyang is indeed a man who has been admitted to the top exam and has made so many political achievements. He just said a few words and I suddenly became enlightened, like an enlightenment!"

"It's a pity that you are not at a high level to listen to Master Ouyang's teachings."

Forehead. The judge of Peking fell on Xu Liang with his eyes full of sadness and confusion, "Sir, can you tell me what Mr. Ouyang said to you?"

Xu Liang was in a good mood at the moment and said with a smile: "Logically speaking, I should keep secret what Mr. Ouyang told me, but since you asked, I won't hide it!" Xu Liang smiled slightly and slowly He said, "The first thing Mr. Ouyang said to me is that since they are more ruthless than you and want to solve the problem, you must be more ruthless than them. Only in this way will they be afraid of you and afraid of you!"

"Lord Ouyang is right." The magistrate of Beiping Prefecture nodded, but soon frowned and said worriedly: "But sir, if we are more ruthless than the merchants, we are not afraid that these merchants will really fight us to the death. Among these merchants, the people behind the scenes are But there are quite a few people standing there!”

"Of course, now we know that these businessmen dare not, but no one could explain the situation before!"

Xu Liang rolled his eyes at the general judge of Beiping Mansion and smiled slightly, "So you are the general judge, and Mr. Ouyang is the chief envoy!"

"Master Ouyang said another thing to me. Businessmen seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If you are weak, they will be strong. If you are strong, they will be weak. As long as you dare to risk your life, these businessmen will not dare to be tough."

"Why?"

"Because we represent the imperial court and are the sacred weapon of the country! When businessmen deal with the government, it is like moths flying into the flames!" Xu Liang's eyes were full of admiration, "I, Xu Liang, have been an official for decades, but my understanding of businessmen is not the same. Not as thorough as Mr. Ouyang."

The general magistrate of Beiping Prefecture was also stunned, "So, sir, you deliberately hit Liu Liuliu and He Qiu Banzi to establish your authority, and finally gave a solution to reward them. With such a combination of kindness and power, these businessmen will naturally be honest!"

"Master Ouyang is really amazing. He can see through these businessmen without having to come to the scene to take a look."

"That's right, Mr. Ouyang also told me that you don't need to be nice to these businessmen. The more aggressive you are to him, the more he will stick to you. Of course, the premise is that there must be enough benefits! One monument becomes five monuments, if I If you tell me directly, they will probably negotiate terms with me." Xu Liang smiled easily and continued: "But according to Mr. Ouyang's method, you can see how quickly they agree."

"Your Excellency is wise, Lord Ouyang is wise!" The magistrate of Beiping Prefecture immediately flattered him.

"Stop flattering me! If you were more capable, I wouldn't have to be so shameless as to beg Mr. Ouyang!" Xu Liang said coldly: "Why don't you go say hello to the people below? In one word, come to Beizhili You are welcome to do business, but if you want to challenge the majesty of the government, you must give them some color!"

"Yes!" The magistrate of Beiping Prefecture nodded repeatedly, "Xiaoguan and other colleagues have long been displeased with those businessmen. In the past, Lord Ouyang encouraged the businessmen and used his power to bully others, but they did not take our officials seriously. They will not take it seriously in the future. So indulgent!”

Business turmoil comes quickly and violently, and goes away quickly and quietly.

It was as if this incident had never happened from beginning to end.

And after experiencing this incident, the businessmen also saw clearly the attitude of the government and would not blindly coddle them. Some businessmen with dirty hands and feet were so scared that they ran away at night, fearing the government's retaliation.

The businessmen who stayed have become much more honest and do business obediently under the rules of Beizhili. After all, Beizhili is now a paradise for doing business. Even though the management has become much stricter, as long as they abide by the laws and regulations You can basically make money by doing things.

Why not stay if you can make money! Of course, Ouyang Lun never paid attention to this matter from beginning to end. He had already seen through the nature of businessmen and did not pay attention to businessmen's troubles. In a word, as long as businessmen's tentacles did not touch the officialdom, then They will always be the koi in the fish pond, good to eat, good to drink, good to look at and easy to handle.

Even in the new city plan, Ouyang Lun rarely interfered. Zhao Tianming, a die-hard confidant, was watching the scene, and he also had the two princes Tang He and Xu Da as his deputies. To be honest, even Zhu Yuanzhang's expedition to Beiyuan, This is the top version.

Moreover, the specific measures of the new city plan are very detailed, and everything can be implemented according to the plan.

There was no need for Ouyang Lun to go to the construction site to guard him.

During this period, Ouyang Lun's most important thing is to plant sweet potatoes. As long as the sweet potatoes are successfully planted and the yield per mu is guaranteed, the sweet potatoes will become a big killer in his hands.

Two months passed in a flash.

The new main body of the Great Wall has been completed, and only the internal highways and railways still need to be constructed.

But even so, one cannot ignore its majesty! After all, with a height of 20 meters, a person standing at the foot of the Great Wall is quite small. This is only the height of the wall. Since the Great Wall is often built on relatively high mountains, if the height of the mountains is added, it will be a natural chasm gate. ! The new Great Wall is not only tall, but also thick and wide!Normally it is ten to 15 meters, and the widest point reaches an astonishing 20 meters! When the main body of the new Great Wall was completed, Ouyang Lun came to the construction site by Zhao Tianming, Tang He and Xu Da, we climbed to the highest point of the Great Wall in Peiping - Huanglouwa Beacon Tower! Standing at an altitude of over a thousand meters and a beacon tower more than 20 meters high, you can easily overlook the entire Peiping, and even see the city of Peiping from a distance! "Climb high and look far! With such a high beacon tower, if an enemy attacks, you can see clearly from hundreds of miles away!"

"The key is that the new Great Wall is three times as high and three times as wide as before. It's called the Great Wall. I think it's a long city!"

"Haha, with the new Great Wall and my [-] Northern Expeditionary Army, even if Beiyuan comes with a million troops, I am confident that they can be kept out of the Great Wall!"

"It took the Qin Dynasty more than ten years to build the Great Wall, but we only spent four months this time. This speed is unprecedented and unprecedented!"

"Thanks to this, Mr. Ouyang came up with the idea of ​​two shifts during the day and night, which directly saves half of the time!"

Zhao Tianming, Tang He, and Xu Da were all filled with emotion.

Ouyang Lun silently walked to the edge of the city wall, looked out over the wall, frowned slightly, and said calmly: "Although the Great Wall is strong, the city is often destroyed due to internal reasons. I hope the tragedy of history will not repeat itself."

heard.

Tang and the three of them were stunned.

"Nephew Ouyang Xian, where did you say this?" Tang He asked curiously.

"Haha, I just felt it, it's okay." Ouyang Lun smiled and didn't say much. After all, it can't be said that the Ming Dynasty will be lured into the country by his own people in the future, ruining the Ming Dynasty.

"Zhao Tianming."

"grown ups."

"You have worked hard these past few months, and of course the two uncles have also worked hard. But now we have only repaired the main body of the Great Wall, which is a little stronger than the previous Great Wall. It has not been reborn. It can even be said to be just a body without a soul. , the next step is the most important part of the new Great Wall, it is related to the success or failure of our new city plan!"

"Excuse me, my lord, I have to repair the Great Wall even if I risk my life!"

"very good!"

"That nephew Ouyang Xian, today is a day worth celebrating. Let's go wash our feet together. No, let's go to heaven and earth to relax."

"agree."

"Agree +1"

Ouyang Lun: Beijing.

Tai Chi Temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang was having a court meeting with hundreds of officials.

"Your Majesty, news came from Beizhili yesterday that the main body of the new Great Wall has been completed, and the rest is to build the interior of the Great Wall. It is expected that the Great Wall will be completely completed by the end of the year!"

The Minister of Industry stood up and reported the matter.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. I heard that the new Great Wall is far greater than the previous Great Wall in terms of height and width. I am afraid that the northern territory of the Ming Dynasty will be safer in the future!"

"Yes! Building the Great Wall is a great merit and will bring blessings to future generations. Under the leadership of Ouyang Prince Consort, Beizhili completed the project in less than four months from the preliminary preparation to the completion of the main body. This is a miracle! "

"This is not because His Majesty allocated more than 500 million silver to Beizhili. The money is enough to recruit many people. It is said that there are almost 200 million workers on the Great Wall construction site now, working day and night alternately. It seems that it only took four months. , which is actually equivalent to eight months of work!”

"Consort Ouyang did not disappoint His Majesty and the court, and it is not in vain for us to donate money to support him!"

"Your Majesty, can you ask when we can get the dividends?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very pleased to hear what the officials said.

The completion of the main body of the Great Wall means that Ming Dynasty's border defense capabilities have reached a new level. The highways, railways, etc. behind it are the icing on the cake.

"As an official of the Ming Dynasty, he only thinks about dividends in the Taiji Palace. It's simply vulgar! But everyone has invested money, and it's normal to want to know more." After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he turned to look at Guo Zi, the Minister of Revenue, "Guo Zi, As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you should know the Great Wall Project best, please tell me quickly. When can we distribute the dividends, and when can the principal of more than 250 million taels of silver be returned?"

Guo Zi stood up from the queue of civil servants and said to Zhu Yuanzhang helplessly: "Your Majesty, the main profit points of the new city plan are in the second and third phases. Now even the first phase has not been completed. It is really impossible. Determine when you can make money.”

"However, as far as I know, due to sufficient funds, the progress of the Great Wall project has been advanced time and time again. Maybe we don't have to wait until next year to see the new city completed. If the speed is fast, it can be this year."

“And I’ve also heard that several new cities based on the new Great Wall have already started pre-ordering!”

pre order! ? For a time, many officials in the Tai Chi Hall began to wonder what 'pre-order' meant? Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and it was another term that he was not sure about.

"Guo Zi, stop being so pretentious and tell me what pre-ordering is!"

"Back to Your Majesty, pre-purchase literally means making an appointment to buy in advance. Let me give you an example. Suppose Your Majesty is interested in real estate in the new city and wants to buy it. However, the new house has not been repaired at this time, so there is Make an appointment to purchase.

“Customers can pay to reserve the room first and hand over the room after the house is repaired!”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly, probably understanding a little, "It means to give the money first and then wait, right?"

"Yes."

"Will anyone buy this?"

"Your Majesty, yes, and there are quite a few."
